Your Trusted Garden Centre in Chesterfield, Derbyshire
Established in 1959, Chesterfield Garden Centre has evolved from a specialist rose nursery into a cherished family-run garden centre in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Originally supplying disease-resistant roses through mail order, including partnerships with Reader's Digest, we adapted during the 1971 mail strike by opening our first on-site sales point. Over six decades, we've maintained a commitment to quality and personal service, offering garden sundries, composts, unique gifts, and furniture while fostering community connections.Our flexible working hours for local staff and emphasis on customer interaction have created lasting relationships with generations of visitors. Today, we continue to operate with the same ethos, supported by on-site partners like Chris Kirby Ltd for sheds and summerhouses, alongside hosting floral workshops and seasonal events.
